The global "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour will cover "every continent you can possibly think of" over the course of three years, according to the singer, who performed "Tiny Dancer" and "I'm Still Standing" live from New York City on the broadcast.

The show, which will consist of 300 shows in five continents over the span of three years, will close a chapter on almost 50 years of performances all over the world. It will be his global farewell tour but it will take several years to complete and will include 300 shows. If we were 10, 15 years younger, we probably would have, definitely.
